The Grand Idea
Lucy had been staying up all night at the guild to get this figured out, Levy and Freed had gone home already but she needed answers. Cobra had gone out with his team for a short investigative mission. The blonde stayed here to find out what this mark on her was.
None of the dragon slayers knew since they were 7 when their dragons disappeared. Laxus and Cobra didn't have dragons and they didn't know. Many of them only said it was a primal thing and nothing came to mind when it was brought up. Lucy was the only one who had it yet, out of the slayers mates.
It was about 3 in the morning as Lucy walked into the library at the guild hall, she was looking for another book to find about dragons or dragon slayer. There wasn't many about the slayers since there were only 7 in all of Fiore. Her eye lids were falling, rubbing her eyes she looked further in the library.
She yawned as she climbed up the ladder up to see the section she has been looking at. Her mocha eyes scanned over the leather books and wooden covers. Until she found The History of Dragons. It was a leather-bound book, that was wrapped around with a black leather rope. The words were etched into the leather on the front and that was it, nothing more was on the book.
Lucy sat down in the booth again with papers and stacks of books and even coffee in several cups around the table. She's been up for hours, she needed to know what was going on with her and Cobra. Scratching her cheek, she opened the book, waving off the dust the flew out.
"Why are all of these so dusty?" Wiping off a page with her thumb, picking it up and inspecting the dust. She figured that no one bothered to open them.
Reading further, it stated that dragons have mates and they just zone out when they choose one. Their mind is blank once the mates become intimate for the first time. The blonde looked forward and thought about the first time her and Cobra had sex, he did look zoned out when he bit her, but she really can't remember anything but ecstasy. Her blush spread when she thought about it.
"Okay, that's it!" She heard from behind her, she tried to turn around and see who it was, but she was suddenly picked up and thrown over someone shoulder. Lucy yelped and grabbed onto the persons white coat.
"What's happening?" She asked, feeling the persons hand on her ass.
"You need sleep." Cobra told her, while spanking her ass before she could retort, resulting in her yelping again.
"Erik! I was getting somewhere!" She argued, smacking his own ass but he only hummed in delight then squeezed her cheeks. Lucy growled at him.
"That's what you said when I left yesterday." He snapped but smiled when she pouted and crossed her arms while still being carried by him. he even carried her all the way to her apartment.

The poison slayer threw his girlfriend on her bed, she tried yelling, but he started taking off her shirt and shoes before unbuckling her shorts. "What are you doing, sir?" Lucy slyly asked his eye lifted up to hers.
"Putting pajamas on you." Her bottom lip popped out, she thought she was getting something. He took off her shorts and she got up on her knees on the bed, only clad in her underwear and bra. His violet eyebrow lifted in question but curiosity.
The stellar mage's hands laid on his belt buckle as her lips grazed his neck. "Foxglove." He warned as his hands fisted around her wrists. "You need to sleep."
He shuddered once her tongue licked up her left ear. The dragon slayer growled but he didn't notice that the minx in front of him had gotten out his member.
"LUCY!" A shout was heard from behind them. Lucy screamed and Cobra quickly stuffed his hard on in his pants again. Then he realized that Lucy was almost naked.
"What?" She yelled, pulling up her blanket over herself.
It was Loke, looking panicked until he saw his master with the poison dragon slayer in a compromising situation. "Uh, we thought you were danger." His blush raised to his ears.
"Why?" Just sitting on her bed while Cobra stood next to her by the bed. He was staring at her spirit for interrupting him.
The lion spirit shifted on his feet and pushed up his glasses, "We could feel you being poisons but it seems it's only him." Pointing to the slayer who growled.
The stellar mage held a hand to her forehead and shook her head. She want to hit him so bad, Lucy sighed, "No, I'm fine Loke. Thank you for being concerned." She smiled at the celestial mage. He smiled back at her and was back to his usual self.
"Yes, well. I wanted to make sure my princess was okay. I was just doing my job." Smirking at the blonde but stepped back when Cobra took a step towards the lion. Lucy grabbed his arm before he could try anything and shook her head at him.
She cleared her throat, "I'm fine. I'm kind of tired, so I'm going to bed." The blonde told them both.
The dragon slayer then turned his head towards the spirit, "Bye." Growling at the lion. Loke didn't really say anything but waved at his master before disappearing in a glow of sparkles. Lucy then slapped her hand against his chest.
He only shrugged and kicked off his shoes and throwing off his white jacket. He climbed into her bed with her and pulled her against his chest. Neither said anything and just fell asleep.

Levy got to the guild early to help Lucy with her research on the mark. Once she opened the door, she saw Freed over at a table with what looked like thousands of books and papers. She bounced over to the green-haired man.
"Hey Freed! How's it going?" The blue-haired mage greeted him with a sweet smile.
He looked over to the small girl, "I'm fine Miss Levy. I see someone was here late." He commented while shifting some papers on the table.
Levy shook her blue hair and smiled at the thought of Lucy being here for hours and hours trying to find something. Cobra must have come to get her.
Freed hummed with his eyes glue on an open book. He moved it closer to himself to read better, The page was open to the dragon's mates, saying they mate for life and that they make marks on their mates. Freed leaned closer with his hands on the table.
Dragons are vicious animals and mark their mates to make sure no one else can have them. Almost every other animal knows whose mates are who's. Dragons are magically motivated in picking their mates and emotionally motivated to pick a placement. The will only stay when the mate is invested in the dragon.
Their magic's are entwined with the mark as well at their scales.
The placement is where they cherish the most about them.
When the week has passed and the mark has stayed, they are both emotionally attached.
The dragons will visually be unfocused when they mark their mates. Then come to, once the mark is complete.
Freed turned the book to Levy, "Look at this, Miss Levy." Once the solid script mage read the passage her eyes widened.
"This is great! This will give Lucy some answers and the dragons slayers since they don't really know anything either." She clapped in excitement.
With his hand on his chin, "Except the magic in the mark. It never went into that."
Levy thought about it as well, "Well, maybe they thought other dragons didn't have magic or could keep someone else's magic?" She shrugged as the books were busted open and she saw Natsu and Lisanna walk in.
"Natsu, we found information on dragons." Freed told the pink-haired slayer. He bounced over to the table, knocking into the table itself and almost having it topple over.
"What did you find?" He excitedly asked, trying to fix the papers he knocked over.
Freed had pushed the book to the slayer, Natsu started reading the passage; although slow, but he grew wide eyed towards the end. "Wow, I wonder why Igneel never told me any of this." He absentmindedly asked no one.
"You were 7, I don't think he would tell a child any of this stuff." Levy told him but Natsu only shrugged and tried to read more but Freed took it back.
Levy and Freed were telling every slayer that came through the door, it seems that Lucy and Cobra are coming in late. Laxus didn't care about the news and Gajeel was highly intrigued in the research. Levy didn't know why but she had to guess it was because of they're relationship.
"Will someone call Lucy. I'm tired of waiting." Natsu announced, sitting next to Lisanna as she giggled at him.
"I'm on it." Levy told him, picking up a lacrima that was close to her. Once she dialed the blonde's number, it took a minute and then Cobra answered with wet hair and shirtless. The solid script mage squeaked and blushed.
"What?" He growled out staring at the small Fairy Tail member.
"Um, we found the answer Lucy was searching for. We just thought she should know." Her voice was higher pitched than normal.
Cobra had raised his eyebrow, staring at the small mage, "Well, Foxglove's sleeping. We'll be over once she's up." Then he just hung up on her.
Levy let down the lacrima and looked around the guild, they were all looking over at her, "Well, she's sleeping, so she'll be over soon." Her face was still brightly blushed once she told them.

Once Cobra hung up from the annoying guild, he heard his precious girlfriend wake up, groggy and wonder where her snake was. He gave a low chuckle and walked back in the room to see Lucy sitting up in their bed, naked and rubbing her left eye of sleep.
"Erik?" She questioned with a yawn afterward.
The man in question walked over to her and kissed her forehead as she smiled sleepily at him. "Sleep well?" He asked while sitting in front of her on the bed and his hand on her thigh.
She nodded at him with her eyes closed, "Who were you talkin' to?" her voice was sloppy and low. Lucy had the deepest sleep she's had in a long time. She really felt rejuvenated and refreshed, yet still kind of asleep.
"You annoying guild." He mumbled but the blonde giggled at him and putting her hand on top of his. "They said they found what you were looking for last night." Brushing up her leg, closer to her private area, making the blonde whimper.
Then her sleepy mind just heard what he told her, she gasped and stood up, "They found it?" her mind was just so jumbled that Cobra couldn't really pinpoint what she was talking about. Then her mind stopped and her eyes focused on him.
Her hands were clasped in front of her chest, "They found out what this means." Pointing to the patch of purple scales a top of her heart and crawling up her left breast.
His eyebrows shot up, "Oh. Interesting, we should get going then." Getting up and grabbing all of their clothes, he was very interested in what that thing was and part of his dragon side he had no idea about.
"Someone's eager." Lucy mused while putting on her black tank top over her white skirt.
The burgundy-haired slayer slipped on his white jacket, then searched around for his cape, looking in the room but he thinks he left it in the living room. She walked out while he was pulling up the hood, her outfit consisted of a black plaid shirt with a white tank top and black belt.
"Ready?" She asked, seeing his eye peek under the cape hood. She wished that he didn't have to wear that but there was no choice, she sighed, wishing that she could do something.
"Let's go, Foxglove." Kissing her cheek to try to get her mind off his criminal problem, really it was his problem and she didn't have to worry about it.
On their walk to the guild, Lucy was holding his hand and smiling to herself, she felt so happy being with him and being wanted by someone. She was content to just walk around with him, maybe without his cape so she could see his face but that was nothing to think about now.
On the other side of the street there was a fruit vender with two girls standing in front and as they turned around to see the famous Lucy Heartfilia with a man that had a cape on his head.
One girl gasped and pointed to the blonde across the road, "Is that Lucy Heartfilia?" The other girl laughed and moved her bag to her side.
"Yeah, is that her boyfriend?"
The girl scoffed, "Yeah right! She probably had one of her guild mates walk around with a cape to show she had a 'boyfriend'." They laughed together while Lucy herself gripped Cobra's hand tighter and looked the other way.
"She's pathetic." They said in unison.
Lucy was going to say something, but she heard a deep growl come from her new boyfriend. He tugged her along, "It's not worth it." His voice was deeper than normal, and he was tense. He muttered a 'Fucking bitches' under his breath, making the blonde beside him giggle.

"So, you're telling me she can use my magic?" Cobra asked Levy once the couple finally showed up to the guild.
"Well," the blue-haired mage glanced back at the book on the table, "It says that your magic is entwinned and your mark is placed where you most cherish." Pointing to the poison dragon slayer. Lucy snapped her head up to him and smiled.
"Awww Cobra. That's so sweet." She clasped her hands in front of her and staring at the grumpy dragon slayer.
He growled at her, albeit not seriously, "No it's not."
Midnight walked up to him, patting him on the back while the poison slayer glared at him, "We all know how much of a fluff ball you are."
That was it, that is was started a big fight in the guild including the scarce Crime Sorciere. Lucy only laughed and sat at the table with the giant stack of books, she wanted to read more about this while they fight it out.
The blonde even saw Angel jump in the mix, pulling a reluctant Lisanna with her. Levy sat down next to her when she was knocked down by Natsu jumping in. "They are so crazy." The blue-haired mage giggled, shoving some papers over to set her drink down.
Lucy glanced to the side of her and back to her book, "Yeah, but they all love each other." Laughing along with her friend.
Suddenly, Gray crashed into the booth across from them, letting papers fly over the two girls and books falling onto Gray and causing both girls to laugh. His head snapped over the end of the table, glaring at them as they continued to laugh at him.
"Shut up, both of you." He grumbled under his breath and sitting in the seat. "How is everything Lucy? I haven't talk to you since you got with Cobra." Gray commented, flipping papers over but not looking at them.
The blonde hummed, "I've been good." Then her mind went to the girls on the sidewalk, by the fruit vendor. "I've got a question Gray."
The ice mage hummed as he glanced up for a second at her and then looked back down to the random papers around the table.
"How is it dating Angel?"
His hands stopped and laid the papers back down, "What are you talking about?" he quickly denied.
Her eyes fixed on him and she raised her eyebrows, "My boyfriend is Cobra. You wanna try that again?" putting her chin in her hands while batting her eyelashes at him.
Gray groaned, throwing his head back, "I hate this! What about it?" he didn't deny or agree the comment.
"Well," her fingers fiddled with the pages in the book in front of her. "Do you ever feel bad that you can't go out or take her anywhere in public?"
His right eyebrow rose at her, "Uh, I guess. But, as you know, I'm not very outgoing person. I can take her anywhere where she won't get seen or anything. It would still be special." He told her while taking the ice from levy's glass and eating it, getting a small 'hey' from the small mage.
"Huh." She thought, thinking of her and Erik sitting at her apartment and watching movies or both walking out at night and watching the stars. Those times have always been special to her at least. "I guess you're right."
I love you Erik. Looking at his messed up burgundy hair and his broken and ripped jacket. His violet eye shifted to her as his hand gripped Jellal's cape. He smirked at her, I love you too Foxglove. Then turned back to his self-appointed leader, punching him in the face.
The glass slide across the table back to Levy once Gray had eaten all the ice, "Yeah, if I'm just with her then I'm good." He smiled sweetly at the wooden table in front of him.
"Aw, our little Gray is in love." Levy swooned, leaning heavily towards the blonde who laughed along with her.
He scoffed and crossed his arms, leaning back away from the girls who were making kissy faces to the ice mage, getting up from the table he sneered and quick, "Shut up both of you," before he walked away from them.
The girls giggled at him and going back to the book, there was one thing that Lucy didn't understand, why were they able to talk to each other in their minds? Why did the scales poison that guild leader? None of that really made sense.
"Levy?" the solid script mage hummed in reply as her eyes were glued to a book she had, "Do think the magic entwinned counts as speaking to each other in their minds?" She asked, picking up another book to find research.
Levy glanced up at the blonde beside her, she placed a finger up to her chin with thought, "I'm not sure. It could be since his magic involves soul listening. It might be." She inquired. That seemed logical enough, it did say their magic was entwinned and that involves his magic.
Her gazed switched to the brawl winding down and everyone going back to their normal routine. She watched as the Crime Sorciere members mingles with the Fairy Tail members. Angel and Meredy were sitting at a table with Mira and Lisanna, since Kinana was behind the bar for the moment.
The girls seem to be hitting it off, probably talking gossip and girly things, she giggled at the thought and drifted to the next members, Richard and Sawyer. The two males were talking with Elfman, Jet and Droy by the job board. Lucy thought it would be funny if those guys went on a job together. They would all talk about being manly and try to prove it to each other at every turn.
Her eyes caught Jellal sitting at the bar with Cana and Erza. Having the brunette try to get the saint-tier mage drunk but was heavily against it. Erza would only watch and laugh at the exchange and maybe participate in the teasing. Lucy smiled at them, it was nice to see Erza so happy and not just trying to be the biggest and baddest.
Lastly, her eyes set on her on dragon slayer, Cobra and Midnight were actually sitting and having a conversation with Natsu, Gray and Gajeel. She wondered what they were talking about, but a voice cut in, We might take a job with them Foxglove, though I might kill this fire freak if he keeps talking about food. Cobra told her without cutting off his talk with them.
I would love that. But I think I have an idea. She smiled at him and tried her hardest to not let him know what she was thinking. She was hoping that this could be her little surprise for them. His head shifted to look at her with a questioning glance.
What are you thinking Foxglove?
Her smiled turned sweet and only got up from the table letting Levy know that she would be right back.

Lucy was outside the guild she was on the lacrima phone and she smiled at the person on the other end. "So, I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked with a large smile.
"Yes, I'll be waiting here at 9 in the morning Lucy. This is the only time I can see you." The person said with a firm stand only the blonde knew they wanted to see each other.
"Great! I'll be there." With a wink and a small goodbye, Lucy giggled and walked inside.
Cobra was standing by the door waiting for the blonde, trying not to listen because he knew that she wanted this to be a surprise but still, "Who were you talking to?" he asked wrapping his arm around the blonde.
She hummed and leaned her head on the warm man, "Mm, no one." Her eyes were closed and she smiled at her plan.
"You're not going to tell me, are you?" She nodded as the two sat at the bar for their last meal before heading home. The two left early since Lucy had an appointment in the morning and wasn't telling anyone yet told the Crime Sorciere guild to be here tomorrow by noon at the latest.
They were all considerably confused but agreed.
Lucy was so happy, and she couldn't wait until tomorrow, hopefully it all worked the way she wanted it to.
Sorry about being so late, I have no excuse and yeah…. Well, thank you for reading and reviewing. I appreciate everything! Enjoy this chapter, until next time!
